Crisis

Salt Lake City's own Crisis came into being in 1980 and a few years
later attracted the attention of the British label Bullet Records,
who took their Armed To The Teeth demo and released it as a debut EP.
A followup album, Kick It Out, was recorded and after some delays,
released by Bullet in 1986, but for various reasons didn't do as well
as hoped, and after a few years the band gave up.
A decade later the original trio hooked up with a second guitarist and
the band released Hard Bargain (which may or may not have been the
name of the reformed band as well).
The music on those early releases (recently re-released by
Shadow Kingdom
Records with a bunch of bonus tracks)
is raw, catchy, straightforward early American hard rock/metal, nothing
awe-inspiring but it does make for a nice nostalgia trip.
